A Little Bit of This & A Little Bit of That.

It has been awhile since I have sat down and updated our blog.  So tonight, that is what I intend to do!

Here are a few pictures of Lizzie since the beginning of 2012.  She is so much fun and brings so much joy to our lives, that it is hard to imagine what our life was like before we had her.



January 2012: 

Lizzie LOVES airplanes and throughly enjoys climbing in and out of the one (yes, it's a toy pedal plane) we bought her a few weeks after she was born.

Lizzie smiling for the camera.

Lizzie loves to laugh!

Riding around in her airplane with the help of Daddy!

February 2012:

Lizzie's second St. Valentine's day (but the first one she really celebrated)!!  Her daddy bought her a balloon!  Lizzie LOVES balloons!!

Mommy showing off her belly (aka Baby Normark)!!

Lizzie is fascinated with Jordan's Miata.  She loves to sit in it and honk the horn. 

Another Lizzie favorite- Trying on Mommy's shoes!

March 2012:

Lizzie LOVES to go on bike rides.  Last year, we bought her a bike helmet and she hated the fact that we made her wear it!  Now she LOVES to wear it around the house.

April 2012:

Lizzie's FIRST Easter Egg Hunt, took place in my parents' backyard.  In this picture, my mom is showing Lizzie how to look for eggs.

After she got the concept of hunting for eggs down pat, Lizzie decided that after she found an egg she had to open it right then and there, so she could eat the candy!

Lizzie with all of her eggs!

Easter Sunday- Lizzie going on another Easter Egg Hunt in our yard.

Walking around the yard with Daddy & Tina!

Eventually Lizzie got bored with hunting Easter eggs, and decided to start picking up sticks.

Lizzie's Easter eggs!!

The Easter Bunny was nice enough to bring sidewalk chalk for Lizzie to play with.  :)

She LOVED it!!

Sidewalk chalking with Mommy and Baby Normark 2!!

An afghan my Aunt Laurie made Baby Normark!!  It arrived in the mail while I was on bedrest at UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill.  **I went on bedrest at the very beginning of March, and was admitted into the hospital on Saturday, April 14th.**

While I was on bedrest, Granny & Oupa took care of our girl on the weekends.  This is a picture of Oupa, Lizzie, and Stella (the dog).

An older picture of me (during my bedrest in March) at my parents' house, while Jordan was away at an autocross.

Lizzie loves to read!!

A picture of Lizzie with her Texas hat (a gift from Granny & Oupa) at the Farmer's Market!!

Also, while I was on bedrest, Jordan (with the help of Jordan's dad- Grandpa) put up a swingset for Lizzie.  What a lucky little girl!!

Can you guess what Lizzie's favorite activity to play with on her swingset is???

Well. that's all folks!!!!
